"Air" Bob's next plane.

...ti's also Mr. Martin's next build! Well...relatively "next" on the que.

C'mon, you and Logan can build it in the shop! Parts from Amazon!! After Logan does the paint detailing, he'll be there to "shoe horn" you in for the first flight!

Don't forget to play that awesome French tuneskie for your first flight!!

I've seen the version with the little gas engines, but first with the jets. Cool as hell, but you'd never catch me test fligting something like that. Yoiks...

Looked VERY uncomfortable even for you, and that's after "shoe horning" you into it!

They'd have to 3D print it around me! Probably need to increase the number of jets by a factor of 4 as well!!

VERY COOL Indeed.

A 1/4 scale model with a real man or woman in it! The video edit we don't really see if there are electric starters or someone else outside has to start the jets? Are engine restarts in the air possible? The engines seem simple enough as jets engines are inherently simple to begin with. This little French design been around for decades and seems a dependable proven airframe. I wonder what its range is.

Yeah, motor-clutch 'bullets' ahead of the centrifugal compressor disc. So, air-starts possible. His one recorded engine-out incident evidenced 'flame' and 'stuff' in the exhaust before shut-down. Little chance of re-light as the turbine/bearings was likely toast at that point.

Gas turbines ain't that simple. Ram and buzz-jets are relatively simple. Gas turbines demand tight tolerances; exotic metals down-stream; and reliable, consistent lubrication; and mucho maintenance and tear-downs.

Ahh...if you guys can build one of those-you can build one of these like Yeves Rossi did. Simplify-Leave all those loose nuts and bolts on the ground!
